Failure of success is not race-related; it's not socioeconomics-related; it is really predictable, based on principles that are laid down by God the Creator by which we are supposed to function.

A white person listens to my act and he laughs and he thinks, 'Yeah, that's the way I see it too.' Okay. He's white. I'm Negro. And we both see things the same way. That must mean that we are alike..... So I figure I'm doing as much for good race relations as the next guy. — Bill Cosby
I think various places in this country are ready to explode. I think [race relations] are very tense.

Now, I've lived long enough to know that race relations are better than they were 10 or 20 or 30 years ago no matter what some folks say.

And all of us have more work to do. — Barack Obama
Living here in North America - I have been Americanized. When I go back home now, there are things that I have far less tolerance for in South Africa.

There are still a lot of things that are frustrating about being in South Africa. — Kandyse McClure
The best nations are those most widely related; and navigation, as effecting a world-wide mixture, is the most potent advancer ofnations. — Ralph Waldo Emerson

The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color-line -- the relation of the darker to the lighter races of men in Asia and Africa, in America and the islands of the sea. It was a phase of this problem that caused the Civil War. — W. E. B. Du Bois
